I've been following the portion guide recommended by Diabetes UK. Today has gone okay. Recommended number of portions are in brackets, actual portions I've had, er, aren't.
Protein (2-3) = 2
Starch (7-14) = 7
Fruit/veg (5-9) = 6
Dairy (3) = 3
Sugary/fatty (less than 4) = 4
Alcohol (less than 2) = 2
Colour coding helps my brain, okay?

Hey, Anna - I've found a very useful online food/activity journal at www.FitDay.com. It is REALLY helpful. Check it out!
ReplyDeleteGO ANNA!
ReplyDeleteOoh yes, FitDay is a good one!
ReplyDeleteOnly problem I have with it is that it's somewhat "Americanised", so sometimes it takes a while for me to find foods that we have different names for!
That said, I have a copy of the offline version which I have used in the past. I may well use it again now too.
Anna, I'm proud of you! My diet for today consisted of the following:
ReplyDeleteBreakfast:
one cafe con leche with 3 tsp of sugar (I'm Cuban)
one mid-size piece of vanilla cake with strawberry cream frosting
Lunch:
One baked potato from Wendy's with everything (broccoli, butter, bacon, cheese, chives) and extra sour cream
Dinner:
Who knows?
I been baaaaaaaad...
Oh Carmen...
ReplyDelete...sounds pretty good to me!
Except the sugar. Sugar is evil.
